The Gary Fong Flip-Cage ($21.95 direct) is a compact support for point-and-shoot cameras. Its design makes it possible leave it on your camera at all times, eliminating the necessity to carry around a separate tabletop tripod. It also acts as a protective case for your camera, helping to prevent damage if you drop it during use.

The Flip-Cage folds around your point-and-shoot when hand-holding shots, and folds out to form two legs—much like a sawhorse—when you need to set it down to steady a shot. It features a standard tripod thread so it is compatible with any modern compact camera. It can also be used in conjunction with the Gary Fong Tripod Adapter for iPhone 4 to take steady photos with your phone.
